Progenitor
Garan, I've been looking into the old forging rituals of the First Firesmiths—there's something intriguing about the way they claimed to bend the very sky into metal. Have you ever wondered if those tales were based on a forgotten alchemical process?

I’ve heard those old tales too, and I’ve learned to take them with a pinch of salt. The First Firesmiths spoke of bending the sky, but their words were more poetry than practice. In my forge I find that the true magic comes from the heat, the hammer, and the patience to let the metal remember its form. There might have been a hidden process—a rare ore, a secret alloy, maybe even a trick of heat that made the metal behave like it had a second skin. I’d wager they were more alchemists of flame than alchemists of sky, but who knows? If we could uncover that forgotten heat‑treat, it would still be a marvel of our craft.

You speak the truth of the forge, Garan, but perhaps the sky‑bending myth hides a more mundane kernel. If a rare ore or a subtle heat treatment could give metal a “second skin,” that would be a hidden alchemy. I’ll sift through the old treatises—maybe a forgotten crucible recipe or an arcane quenching ritual lies in the margin. If we uncover it, it’ll be a neat addition to your practical lore.
